Excellent.  I tried doing this, but I'm not sure how to get the Raster Layer into ArcGIS Explorer.  See this post: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/18499-Make-Image-Server-Layer-output-goes-where-MakeImageServerLayer_management Hi, Agreed, Make Image Server Layer should do the trick. It returns a Raster Layer which you can add to ArcGIS Explorer. First of all you can create the service then use the OOTB "Analysis Gallery" in ArcGIS Explorer to consume the service. From there you can write a custom Add-in if you like to provide an alternative, tailored UI for your workflow. Regards Mike ... View more

I am trying to consume a multilayer cache and retain the ability to turn layers on and off in Arc GIS Explorer build 1500.  However, when I take in the map service I cannot turn on and off the visibility of layers.  I can do this in ArcMap but not Arc Explorer.  Does anyone know if this functionality is supported?  When I have a service that is dynamic the layers can be turned on and off. Thanks, Tom I was able to do this. http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisexplorer/1500//en/index.html#gis_service_sub_layers.htm ... View more

I think this just exports an image.  We need to add a layer to ArcGIS Explorer that just shows one raster in a mosaic image service. Can you use the GP tool "Make Image Server Layer" to create a raster layer which can be added into ArcGIS Explorer? Hi, I don't believe you need to use a GP service to do this - you should just be able to use the Image Service itself (but in the same way you were probably expecting to need to write a GP Service). You would pass the raster ID into the Mosaic Rule parameter of the Export Image request which would create a raster dataset from which you then create a local RasterLayer. - Example Image Service: http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World/Temperature/ImageServer/exportImage?bbox=-180,-55.5,180,83.5 - REST API Help (for info): http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/SDK/REST/index.html?exportimage.html - For an example SOAP WSDL see http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/services/World/Temperature/ImageServer?wsdl If you're writing a .NET Add-in for Explorer then the ArcGIS Server SOAP API is probably going to be the easiest to use but you could use the REST API if you are that way inclined. Here's an example from the SOAP API Help (http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/apis/soap/SOAP_CSharp_Examples.htm#ExportImage): ExportImage //define image server string url_DEMService = "http://ais3/arcgis/services/testDEM/ImageServer"; testDTED_ImageServer imageSrv = new testDTED_ImageServer(); imageSrv.Url = url_DEMService; //define image description GeoImageDescription geoImgDesc = new GeoImageDescription(); geoImgDesc.Height = 600; geoImgDesc.Width = 800; geoImgDesc.Interpolation = rstResamplingTypes.RSP_BilinearInterpolation; ImageServiceInfo isInfo = imageSrv.GetServiceInfo(); geoImgDesc.Extent = isInfo.Extent; //define a hillshade function and attach to a rendering rule RenderingRule renderRule = new RenderingRule(); HillshadeFunction function = new HillshadeFunction(); HillshadeFunctionArguments argument = new HillshadeFunctionArguments(); argument.Names = new string[] { "Altitude", "Azimuth", "ZFactor" }; argument.Values = new object[] { 45, 315, 1.0 }; renderRule.Arguments = argument; renderRule.Function = function; renderRule.VariableName = "DEM"; geoImgDesc.RenderingRule = renderRule; //define export format ImageType imageType = new ImageType(); imageType.ImageFormat = esriImageFormat.esriImageJPG; imageType.ImageReturnType = esriImageReturnType.esriImageReturnURL; ImageResult result = imageSrv.ExportImage(geoImgDesc, imageType); //download result string fileName = @"c:\temp\hillshadeFunction.jpg"; System.Net.WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient(); webClient.DownloadFile(result.ImageURL, fileName); Regards Mike ...

Hi, Unfortunately there is no access to Image Service properties via the API in the current release. I you would like to see this added in future please submit the idea at http://ideas.arcgis.com Regards Mike This is a critical requirement for our customer in the current release.  Is there a viable work around?  For example, could we connect to a GP model which would create the raster layer and load it into AGX?  Thanks for your help! ...

There's a pretty good walkthrough here that includes a toggle command to open/close a dockable window: http://help.arcgis.com/en/sdk/10.0/arcobjects_net/conceptualhelp/index.html#//00010000048s000000 The problem I'm having is trying to load info into my controls on the window when it is opened.  The load event only seems to work when the window is first created, not everytime it opens, like a form. This example is for ArcGIS Desktop, i.e. ArcMap/ArcCatalog; not ArcGIS Explorer Desktop. ... View more

I'm doing the same thing... I've also cleared the basemaps so I don't get the error but didn't realize Explorer may still be attempting to get out to the Internet... I'll be watching to see if you get an answer, would be nice to disable if this is the case. I removed all basemaps from my configuration.  Then, I used fiddler and wireshark to monitor network traffic on start up and nothing is going out to the Internet.  Also, AGX starts up fairly quickly. It appears the more basemaps you have, the longer AGX takes to start up.  If you have broken data connections, it takes a very long time. I also noticed if you have broken data connections when switching from 2d to 3d views, it re-checks the broken data connections every time.  So the more layers in the contents view (and broken connections), the longer it takes to switch between views. This is not to surprising ... View more

We are still having this issue where we can bring cached map service into 2D view, but not 3D view. This does not occur on every desktop.  We work in a very secure enviornment and some desktops may have stricter domain/local policy or antivirus software. What are the differences as to how ArcGIS Explorer renders 2d vs 3d views with regard to using local disk space or other resources which might be limited by domain/local policy or antivirus software? Thanks! ... View more

I published an Image Service with WCS capabilities using HTTPS/SSL.  The ArcGIS Server connection works fine in ArcMap, but when I connect with the WCS protocol the image does not show up.  I can connect, but it fails to display.  I noticed that in the connection properties were empty; no metadata for the WCS connection.  The ArcGIS Server connection has all the metadata.  I'm wondering if this is the issue and how to fix it? WCS connections work fine with regular HTTP.  It is definately the HTTPS/SSL which is the issue. I am using ArcGIS Server 10 with IIS7 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit.  HTTPS/SSL and Windows Authentication is enabled. Comments are very much appreciated. Thanks! Thanks for your response.

It appears AGX stores session info in the user's windows profile area.  Try clearing out all the AGX related info in the user profile.  I fixed lost symbols and other weird behavior by deleting the profile information.  I figured this out after reinstalling which did not help. ... View more
